Genuine, but the name "Penny" has apparently never been used officially by Coach for that style or any other.

Thank you!

I need to see copies of whatever photos the seller has posted of any Coach stamps, plaques, logos or paperwork for that bag. I can only open the first 5 photos and there's nothing in any of them that proves to me that it's a genuine Coach. Please copy her photos of those details and post them as a Reply to this post or to your original post. Thank you.

Hello, authenticators! I am a long-time lurker (benevolent type). May I please have your opinion on the following?
Item: Red pre-creed metal tab Courier!
Listing number: 265531188442
Site: Ebay
Seller: andromeda_collections
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265531188442?hash=item3dd2e464da:g:~v8AAOSwodhh-1hh

Thank you for your time!

Genuine, but I can't estimate a date. My best guess would be some time in the late 1960s or early 1970s. You may want to ask at the Vintage Coach Photo and Chat sub-forum once you have the bag in your hands.

Hello Authenticators,

Please assist with authenticating this VTG Coach Shoulder Bag
View attachment 5422883View attachment 5422884View attachment 5422885View attachment 5422886View attachment 5422887
Where purchased: Thrift store
Measurements- 9.5” Length x 3” Width
If possible, could I get the Style name & age?
thanks for all you do! P

It's genuine but NOT vintage. The serial number dates it to 2008 and it's a remake of the Rambler's Legacy 9061, so it has 6 years to go before it qualifies as vintage. The leather is probably not going to be the same as a pre-China bag.

Please check deep in the inside pockets for a small probably white tag with 2 lines of letters and numbers which are the production codes. If that tag is present, we need to see photos. I believe it's genuine but looks like it may have been made for the outlets so any additional information may be almost impossible to find.

@Hyacinth I hadn't realized that both @whateve and @BeenBurned are away and that you are doing all this good work for us all by yourself, thank you!

Sorry if I might need to skip a few requests, so if anyone's been missed especially if it's for something made either pre-creed or after around 2010, I hope they'll post back once at least one of the other 3 Purseketeers have returned.

Sorry, you'll have to wait until our experts on recent bags get back from vacation.

But to give you fair warning, that seller has listed fakes before. There are 7 pages of posts here asking about their items from a variety of brands but it's hard finding solid answers to many of the posts.
However I remember reporting several fake Coaches myself from that seller including one or two screamingly obvious Korean-made fakes.

Thank you VERY much.

It looks genuine to me but I can't estimate when it was made, other than before 1980. Coach has been making that style at least since the late 1970s IIRC and maybe longer. Pre-creed bags often are discussed in the Vintage Coach Photos and Chat sub-forum in the main Coach forum, so I'd recommend anyone wanting more details on dates, etc, to search or post there for the style name once they're in a position to supply close-up photos if needed.
